Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on the 63^rd anniversary of Israel's independence

May 10, 2011
Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement to mark Yom Ha'atzmaut (Israel Independence Day) celebrations:

"Today, on the 63^rd anniversary of Israel's independence, I extend warm regards to the many Canadians who are celebrating Yom Ha'atzmaut.

"Since its creation in 1948, the world has witnessed Israel's unwavering dedication to affirm its right to exist and to achieve peace and security with its neighbours.

"This day offers an opportunity to remember the constant struggles facing Israel and its citizens, and to reaffirm our commitment to strengthen the bonds of our partnership. Through trade, investment and the exchange of knowledge in areas such as innovation, green technology, medicine and law, our nations can continue to grow together.

"Our Government understands the realities of the Middle East and we will not falter in our continued support of Israel, Canada's friend and ally, in defending the values that both nations share – freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.

"As we celebrate the creation of the State of Israel and the return of the Jewish people to their homeland, I call on all Canadians to wish them peace and prosperity in the year ahead."
